OUR JADEITE COLLECTION

 At the house in town, we had these original, built in cabinets on each side of the dining room.  They separated the living room from the dining room.  You might have seen them in the post about the last photos of the house.

Jadeite in vintage built in cabinet

Since we have a kitchen full of cabinets for our regular dishware, we used the built-ins for jadeite (also spelled jadite) green glass pieces that we've collected over the years....

Here is the WIKI entry for them.

Here is one side.  Our collection is a mixture of both new (reproduction) and vintage pieces.  Some (the plates and coffee cups) were from my Grandmother's house, others my Mom collected and some we bought.

And here is the cabinet on the other side.  We have just always loved the color and it was easy to find them over the years and pick up a few here and there.  It's not a lot of pieces, in fact some is just spread out to fill up the shelves (nesting bowls for example) so we don't need a lot of storage space for them.

Our issue though is that we don't have room to display all of this at the apartment.  We decided to box them up and take them to the farm.  Of course, where we put them once they are there is another story.

We don't have any furniture that we could use as it is all being used for other items.  There is also no room for new furniture at the farm.  So we're leaning toward something like this...shelves above the kitchen doors and/or possibly the window. Since our walls are white, it might be a nice pop of color.  

Another project.  
For now, they are safely boxed up.
